Lectrosonics UFM50 UHF Filter/Amplifier Module, 24-25MHz

Become the go-to professional for high-quality audio and video productions with the UFM50 UHF Filter/Amplifier Module, a critical component for any antenna system that demands superior performance. Ideal for scenarios requiring extended cable runs or distribution across various receivers or locations, the UFM50 stands out as a robust solution for maintaining signal integrity.

This module is expertly designed to apply RF gain directly at the antenna, effectively compensating for potential signal loss over lengthy coaxial cable stretches. Its compact form factor allows for seamless integration into multicoupler configurations, working in tandem with an RF splitter to counteract loss and ensure a strong, clear signal.

At the heart of the UFM50's design is a strategic placement of RF filtering prior to amplification, a feature meticulously engineered to minimize the generation of intermodulation (IM) products and prevent signal overload. This is achieved through the use of two transmission line ceramic resonators at the input stage, which deliver precise filtering across a 50 MHz bandwidth.

Following the filtration process, the UFM50 introduces 12dB of gain courtesy of a high-grade GasFET RF amplifier. Boasting an impressive +41dBm IP3, this amplifier ensures exceptional RF performance, free from IM issues or overload complications.

Power efficiency is another hallmark of the UFM50, with a switching regulator embedded within the power supply to manage current draw across an input voltage range of 8 to 16 volts. This regulator is key to maintaining low current consumption and minimal heat dissipation, features particularly beneficial for portable audio mixing in field production and electronic news gathering (ENG) environments.

Versatility in power options is provided, as the UFM50 can be energized from an external DC source or through phantom power via a coaxial cable connected to the UMC16A Multicoupler. The module's housing is a testament to durability, crafted from cast aluminum and topped with a brushed aluminum cover plate, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of both field conditions and long-term fixed installations.

Connectivity is robust and secure, thanks to two heavy-duty BNC connectors and a threaded, locking power jack, designed to maintain reliable connections even in the most demanding situations.

Incorporate the UFM50 UHF Filter/Amplifier Module into your setup for an uncompromised audio and video signal that meets the highest professional standards.
